My apartment is located right in Moscow's historical downtown. It's just 300 metres away from the nearest Smolenskaya metro station and Old Arbat street.

The Old Arbat is a picturesque pedestrian street in Moscow, running west from Arbat Square (which is part of the Boulevard Ring) towards Smolenskaya Square (which is part of the Garden Ring). In the 18th century, the Arbat came to be regarded by the Russian nobility as the most prestigious living area in Moscow. The street was almost completely destroyed by the great fire during Napoleon's occupation of Moscow in 1812 and had to be rebuilt. Alexander Pushkin lodged in one of its mansions for a short time, and there is a statue of him and his wife, Natalie, in front of this house.
Since 1986, the Arbat has been dotted with distinctive street lanterns. It has several notable statues, including one to Princess Turandot in front of the Vakhtangov Theatre and another to Soviet-era folk singer, bard, and poet, Bulat Okudzhava, who wrote several poignant songs about the Arbat. During Perestroika, the street was a gathering place for informal youth movements (like hippies or punks), as well as street musicians and artists. Viktor Tsoi's wall in one of the Arbat side-streets (Krivoarbatskiy Pereulok) remains a curious monument to those turbulent years. To this day, Russian youth frequently gather on the Arbat to play the songs of Tsoi and other Russian songwriters.

The Arbat is home to the headquarters of oil company TNK-BP - a modern building at the beginning of the street. It also contains numerous restaurants, including The Hard Rock Cafe

The building is placed in a magnificent spot, which results very confortable to reach walking the most important touristic places in Moscow, as for example:
- Red Square, Kremlin - 20 minutes.
- Patriarchi Prudy - 15 minutes
- Arbat street- 1 minute.

From apartment to Exhibition center - 9 minutes by metro (direct line, 2 stops)
I can offer you the official taxi to meet you at the airport.

Hello, great apartment, close to city center. All what you need and does not want to carry long way from home is there: hair dryer, iron, ironing table, even sth to clean your shoes. I strongly recommend. Dominika

The apartment is very close to the metro and therefore has many amenities nearby. The host was charming and very helpful, arranged a pickup at Sheremetyevo back and forth for 70 € and was responsible for recording passports no extra cost (just the cost of stamp). We walked to the grocery store but it was 6 in the morning on arrival, indicating where it was better to find everything. The apartment does not lack anything, everything is very clean (except the appearance of the portal, pretty sloppy, but average on the outskirts of Moscow) and the room was much nicer than a hotel because it bought local products our trip a little Russian. Thank you very much Vladimir!

the flat is a jewel. near metro station and supermarket in ten minutes you can really reach the very center of Moscow. Vladimir is a very good homeowner. if you need information you can ask him without problem.

Great Apartment, Great ubición just 15 minute walk from Red Square and 5 subway, and very good treatment of the owners. Yes, the extra single bed is terrible, and curtains are missing all over the floor because when amance in too much light and is impossible to sleep.

The apartment is almost perfect. It was completely clean, with whathever we needed and perfectly comunicated (very close to the metro and train stations). Vladimir was very kind and always available for any problem. We strongly recommend this flat for anybody interested to spend some days or weeks in Moscu

Apartment comfort and excellent hospitality Vladimir is too much trouble for our customers and we warmly thank for having rendered service several times. We recommend it to anyone who wants to discover Moscow!

I can recommend the apartment to anyone. Although Vladimir himself was not there, but it all worked smoothly. The communication beforehand by e-mail was great. The apartment is large, modern and comfortable, everything you need is available. The apartment is right near 3 train stations, which was ideal for us as we traveled from St. Petersburg by train. The metro is so fast that one is in the city center just around the corner. We were six people and had a pleasant stay in Moscow. We were completely satisfied and would come again.
